Review #142 - North British 25

North British 25

Grain - 25 - NCF- NCA - Sample ($70 at the local) - 49.9%

I have always been curious about these grain whiskies with the big age statements.  Today I get to try one

Color - Ripe Corn

Nose - Wheat, vanilla, apples, Twizzlers 

Palate - Vanilla, white grapes, grain

Finish - Medium Short - Vanilla, caramel, more vanilla

Overall - 5 - This to me tasted like a wheated bourbon.  It was nice, potable, but really kind of boring.  I would give NB another shot but I wasn't that impressed.
